Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this valve with angled pipework?

No, this is a straight valve set designed specifically for vertical pipework. Using it on angled pipes will cause alignment issues.

Does this set include the lockshield valve?

Yes, the kit includes both the thermostatic head and a matching lockshield to ensure your radiator has a uniform look.

What is the primary pipe size for this valve?

It is designed for 15mm pipework but includes 8mm reducers for versatility.

How does the thermostatic head work?

The head contains a heat-sensitive element that expands or contracts to automatically adjust the flow of hot water into the radiator based on the room's ambient temperature.

Is this product suitable for all heating systems?

It is designed for standard UK water-based central heating systems. If you have a highly specialized or industrial system, consult a professional plumber.

Troubleshooting

Radiator remains cold even when the valve is open

Ensure the system has been correctly bled of trapped air and that the thermostatic head is properly clicked into position.

The radiator is too hot despite the setting

Check that the valve head is not obstructed by curtains or furniture, as this interferes with the sensor's ability to read the ambient temperature.

Slight weep or leak at the pipe connection

Ensure that a high-quality jointing compound or PTFE tape was used during installation and check that the compression nut is tightened correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality silver finish for a modern, minimalist look
  • Comprehensive kit includes matching lockshield
  • Flexible installation with included 8mm reducers
  • Precise thermostatic control improves energy efficiency
  • Engineered for durability in standard heating systems

Cons

  • Not suitable for angled or corner pipework configurations
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for installation
  • Limited to 15mm inlet systems (with 8mm reduction options)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Derry Bold set requires draining the heating system, so it is recommended to have a professional plumber perform the work unless you are experienced with domestic heating systems. Ensure that your pipework is correctly aligned for a straight valve connection.

Compatibility

  • Pipe Diameter: Primary 15mm connection; 8mm pipework supported via provided reducers.
  • System Type: Suitable for standard UK water-fed central heating systems.

Care Instructions

  • Regularly dust the valve head to ensure the air vents remain clear, which is crucial for accurate temperature sensing.
  • Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that could damage the silver finish.
  • Periodically check the valve tightness to ensure there are no slow drips or leaks after the initial installation.
